In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.
75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s
The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
Answer:
it is defined as splitting up the given force into a number of components, without changing its effects on the body is called resolution of forces. A force is generally resolved along with two mutually perpendicular directions.
Explanation:
Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.
distance = speed * time
convert the minutes time into hours.
When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:
d
s−15
=
7
3
return trip is then :
d
s+15
=
7
5
Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:
3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)
3d=7s−1055d=7s+105
subtract first equation from second equation we get
2d=210d=105km
Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.
5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr
We know that momentum = mass times velocity
So a. 720 kgm/s
